Western Metals Recycling, LLC (WMR) is a wholly owned venture of Cincinnati-based, The David J. Joseph Company (DJJ), one of USA’s largest scrap metal companies.

Our parent Company’s rich history began in 1885. We possess a wealth of experience and an entrepreneurial spirit that is vital to success in the scrap recycling industry.

DJJ is also part of Nucor Corporation’s family of companies. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Nucor is the leading purchaser of ferrous scrap and the largest recycler in North America.

Western Metals Recycling was formed in 1996 by combining Atlas Steel facilities in Salt Lake City, Ogden and Provo with DJJ’s scrap processing plants in Plymouth and Denver. In 2000, WMR acquired Markovitz and Fox’s – Sparks, Nevada (Reno) facility, and 2011, opened a metal recycling plant in Albuquerque. In 2012, WMR acquired Van Gundy’s AMPCO Grand Junction, CO recycling facility.  In 2014, WMR acquired Sims Metal Management’s Utah recycling facilities.
